Could be in the market for another new head in the near future, and ive previously looked at the Jet City JCA22H. I have recently though seen a bit about the Egnater Tweaker 15w Heads and they have got my interest.
Any of you fine fellows used either/both of these? Any real world experience? Issues? Good things? Bad things?
It would mainly be used at home, but it does appear there could be some opportunities for me to do some sessions locally, and my current head will not be powerful enough.
Cheers

If my Kraken ever died beyond repair and I could only afford a JCA22H, I'd obviously be a bit aggrieved but I wouldn't feel like I'd lost a huge amount.
I've gigged the 22H in a large-ish hall with no PA backup before, and it still managed admirably.
Alternatively, you could try the Jet City Custom 22 - it's a JCA22H which Martin Kidd had his mitts all over, so the clean channel is a "proper" clean channel, and the drive channel is a bit Cornford/Victory-esque. It also has an instrument-level loop, as opposed to the line-level loop on the JCA22H.

Ahh ok, I do like a clean channel that breaks up slightly, but would also like the option of a 'clean' clean channel. The Custom 22 is also a great price, so ill look at one of those as well.
From what I can tell they are great value for money. Im all for a bit of that!

Also, the transformers are pretty close to tolerance (particularly the power transformer), so swapping valve types in the power section is generally a no-no. I managed to get KT66s working in my JCA50H, but it got quite hot and a short in the valve burned out a resistor on the board.
Aside from that, build quality is excellent. Don't take my word for it, ask @ICBM...
I don't suppose you have any inside scoop on when the UK might be getting some stock, do you?
